Go back to where you got them from and complain. They sold you fake tints.

Take it back, if the tints aren't up to you expectations you can take it back.

I thought tints on fronts were fully legal so long as they allow above 70% of light through?

Depends on the car THB if it look chavvy. My saxo has front and back tints and the guys at the tinting place expalined all about the law and how much of a tint they were allowed to put on. They did say they would put a darker tint on if I wanted but that it was illegal. So i asked them to make sure it was 100% legal.
